-Available on DVD: yes   
-I own: no 
-Bib occurence: medium ??
-Rating:  4/10 ?   
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Shirley Temple (pictured) in blue bibs on this colorized version. (Red bibs at a theatrical poster), backside simple suspenders only. And lot of other orphan girls in bibs, not sure about boys. Also farm/horse content.

I don't know/don't remember this complete family/romance/musical movie and I don't like very young actresses, but make an exception for Shirley Temple.

75 minutes, rated G and also starring Jane Darwell, John Boles and Rochelle Hudson. 1912 novel by Jean Webster. There are also other movies with the same title and also with the novel's name "Daddy-Long-Legs", even earlier ones, and I have to check the others as well.


Rating 4 for now.
